I cannot recommend John and SJ Plumbing highly enough! SJ Plumbing is a minority-owned, second-generation small business that truly deserves the community's support. The business was started by John's father and eventually passed down to John, who continues the family tradition with an incredible amount of pride in his craft. John personally came out to replace our riser and hose bib/spigot, and his work was exceptional from start to finish. You can immediately tell that plumbing isn't simply a job to him--he genuinely loves what he does. He has been taking things apart, digging around, and fixing things since he was a child, and that lifelong curiosity and hands-on experience really show in his work. John was incredibly thorough throughout the entire process--from inspecting the area and providing a clear estimate to carefully procuring high-quality brass and copper materials from a trusted supplier and completing the installation. His prices are very competitive, but what matters most to me is that he is honest, transparent, extremely skilled, and never cuts corners. He patiently answered all of my questions and explained the process along the way. I actually enjoyed watching him solder/sweat the copper and learning about plumbing! You can see the pride he takes in his craftsmanship. John also gives back to the community by volunteering his plumbing services on weekends, which speaks volumes about the person behind the business. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found John and SJ Plumbing. From now on, they will be our first call for our plumbing needs. We could not be more grateful! A tip for fellow Yelpers: Ask questions about the repair, what materials will be used, and what the work will involve. And especially during hot weather, please have some fresh, cold water available for your plumber. These professionals often work for hours in extreme heat, and we want the hardworking people taking care of our homes to stay safe and hydrated! Five stars without hesitation. Thank you, John and SJ Plumbing! YAY! read more

John from SJ Plumbing was amazing! He came out to check our gas line and was extremely professional, patient, kind, and thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to make sure everything was checked properly and explained everything clearly, which I really appreciated. It's hard to find someone who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely patient and respectful. I would highly recommend John and SJ Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing services. We will definitely be using him again for any future plumbing needs. Thank you, John, for the excellent service! read more

Hired SJ Plumbing for a water Repipe, filtration installation, water heater location move, and water heater change from tank to tankless. They worked with our schedule to get started and kept in contact with us. All work was finished in a day. The patch work was not part of the contract but set us up with one to get the patch work complete. My only recommendation for future would be to remind customers it is not included so that the patch work can be scheduled ahead to happen shortly after work is complete. Although, the patchwork was only a few days after. We just covered up the outside holes until someone came. Noted a couple of issues that popped up shortly after work was done, but they came back and fixed it right up. Overall, a pleasant experience, good value, and would recommend them. read more

Been using SJ Plumbing for a few years. John, the owner, sets the company standards at the top. He genuinely cares about doing the job right. Every technician he has sent to our home has been a quality person and skilled plumber. When something isn't done correctly such as a toilet running after a new flapper installed, John makes sure it is taken care of that same day. As the owner, John makes himself available and scheduling has always been accommodating. Shout out to technician Daryl for his great work this week. Pricing seems reasonable. I would definitely recommend SJ Plumbing. read more

After a previous plumbing company accidentally cracked one of our drain pipes while snaking the line, we called SJ Plumbing to come out and assess the situation and I'm really glad we did. From the very beginning, the experience was great. They came out quickly, assessed the issue thoroughly, and provided a quote that was fair, transparent, and honest. After dealing with a stressful situation caused by another company, it was refreshing to work with a team that clearly cared more about doing the job right than just selling additional work. I especially want to recognize Darryl, the technician who handled the repair. Darryl was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to walk us through exactly what had happened with the pipe and what needed to be done to fix it properly. He explained everything in a way that made sense, answered all of our questions patiently, and you could tell he takes real pride in his work. What stood out most was Darryl's honesty and attention to detail. As the repair progressed, he made sure everything was addressed correctly and never tried to push unnecessary work. It really felt like he was looking out for us as homeowners rather than just trying to get the job done quickly. Plumbing problems are never fun, but Darryl and the SJ Plumbing team made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a company that is fair, professional, and truly stands behind their work, I would absolutely recommend SJ Plumbing. read more

This is an updated review after I was contacted by the owner of the company in order to rectify a situation that occurred with new employee. I absolutely appreciated receiving a direct response and the owner went above and beyond to ensure that the issue was resolved. :) read more

Great! Quick. Efficient. And solution focused without doing too much to make a sale. I had Darryl come out and he was very friendly, professional, helpful and quick! Thank you read more

Excellent service again. Called John and he scheduled one of his technicians immediately. Thomas called and said he could come early if that was ok with me. I Told him yes and he showed up in 15 minutes. He repaired the sink issue quickly and made sure everything was working properly. He cleaned his work area when he was done. Great work at an affordable price! read more

SJ plumbing was very responsive and courteous. I had the pleasure of having Daryl come, thoughtfully diagnose our issue with a leaking pipe, and resolve it quickly and professionally. read more

Requested SJ Plumbing to investigate if there are pipes underneath my garage floor before I have contractors fix damaged flooring. They were on-time and provided a clear review of how water/gas/sewage pipes are routed from the curb to the property. They were able to assess without having to do further work. I appreciate the honesty from the plumber and John who provided further details on how these are built. Although no actual labor was done, their expertise/assessment was just as impt. read more

Quick service, super friendly and respectful, got my kitchen drain flowing again like new! Very happily recommend and would call again if I needed anything else in the future! read more

Initially, I called SJ Plumbing to fix a leaky faucet in my Jack & Jill bathroom. Ricardo came, examined the situation, found the other sink's faucet was starting to fail. He returned the next day and replaced both sets of faucets. He was quiet in his work, cleaned up the area after his job was completed and even brought his own booties to wear while working in the house. I have had him back two more times and found his work to be excellent. read more

2nd time using their service and both times they got the job done. Price is very fair. I will use them again when needed.

First of all-- wow. A good plumber experience? What! Justin was assigned to install a garbage disposal and he was amazing. Super quick, professional, clean, the whole thing. What a great attitude, as well. Highly recommend this company and Justin especially. Really great experience. Will have them back for other work as needed. Excellent value for the price. read more

I had an excellent experience with SJ Plumbers. John came over in the morning to see what was causing the leak. Later that afternoon Justin came out and took care of the problem. Very professional and very efficient. I am extremely pleased and will definitely use this company again. Thanks very much! read more

SJ Plumbing has helped me on a couple projects now and everyone has been very helpful and honest! Justin helped me repair a leak in my ceiling as well as a backed up washing machine drain. In another occasion, Darren came out late in the evening to fix a backed up drain in my sink. At no point did I ever feel upsold and would trust their recommendations. I will definitely continue using SJ Plumbing for all my plumbing needs. read more

Are these guys good? No, they are great! Sean went over in a timely manner to give me a quote. As soon as he left?, he had my estimate on the way. 20 minutes max. I hired him & I have no regrets! Communication was awesome! Always on time & finished the job in a timely manner. I am keeping their info so no can use it on my rental property next time. The cost was 1/2 the price of other plumbing bids. Did I mention Sean? He was the most helpful plumber ever! Very pleasant & communicates every move. I definitely will use him again! Thanks Sean! read more

What a morning...shower drain got clogged and backed up in to the other bathroom. I called a plumbing company (who I have used in the past) but their answering service never picked up. So I found SJ Plumbing on Yelp and remembered seeing their building on Katella. Sean was able to come out the same day (Saturday) and fix the clog. He was very professional and easy to work with. He answered my questions and gave me some tips on plumbing stuff. I would highly recommend Sean and SJ Plumbing for your plumbing needs!! Thanks again, Sean & SJ Plumbing! read more

Had been dealing with an issue of my washer drain overflowing every couple months. I found SJ Plumbing and they were quick to respond. John and Darryl came out to assess the situation and provided exceptional service. Unlike others I had called, they recommended running a camera to finally determine what the core issue was, and finally found the cause! Darryl worked diligently to clear the problem. Glad to have found a local plumber I can rely on in the future! read more

This review is for Justin! His services are very much appreciated! Very professional, quick, and friendly! Thank you so much for fixing our kitchen disposal! Definitely recommend this company! Hopefully I will get him again if something goes out! read more

I had a great experience with SJ Plumbers, especially Darryl (the technician) and Sean (the owner) Darryl arrived right on time and was very nice, professional, honest and thorough. He took the time to check every fixture in my property to find out what the issue is. I really appreciated that he explained everything to me in detail and always made sure to ask if I had any questions. Later, I called Sean with some questions regarding the job diagnostics around 5:30pm. Sean called me back right away and spent his time talking through my concerns. I know it had been a long day, yet he still took the time to make sure I understood everything. That level of care really stood out to me. Even though this project is still in progress and only at the diagnostic stage, I already feel very confident about a good outcome because of their communication and professionalism. Most importantly, they genuinely care about their customers--something I feel is missing from many other businesses. Thank you, Sean. Thank you, Darryl. Highly recommend SJ Plumbers. read more

Fair and reliable pricing. Same day service for me. The work was done as quoted. The plumber was a really friendly nice guy. He went straight to work and finish very quickly. He cleaned up after himself and left me smiling. That's 5 stars in my book. I had him quote a water heater while he was here... I will ask for Edward next time I call. I HIGHLY recommend SJ plumbing!!! read more

John and his team are great, provide exceptional service, great value pricing, and is thorough. My place was built in 1966 so I am sure I will need maintence as the years pass and I am glad John and SJ plumbing is near me! Thanks John! read more

Needed help with a stubborn kitchen drain. Justin arrived on schedule and talked me through the plan. He was very patient with all my questions and the job was done efficiently for a fair price. This is the reason why I'm a returning customer. read more

***5/18/25 UPDATE*** John, the owner, reached out to me to make things right. He agreed that the below experience was unacceptable and offered solutions to make up for it. I appreciate his honesty and how he handles his business so I'm updating the review from 1 star to 4 stars! *** ORIGINAL REVIEW FOR SECOND VISIT*** I had a second visit for a Toilet clog. They came promptly, removed the toilet and snaked it. The process took an hour and cost a bit more than $600. The clog was cleared, but the aftermath was a nightmare. There were "human waste" spreaded & splashed on the floors, which originate from the equipment he used to do the job, not our toilet. These were avoidable if either the equipment was cleaner or the user handled them better. Anyway, the guy used a cloth to wipe the mess, and that's it. I had to clean the bathroom AND the entire home because he stepped on the mess and spread them throughout my home. However, I didn't decide to write a bad review until I had a Home Inspection done and the Inspector pointed out the toilet was not reinstalled up to code. Apparently the base of the toilet needs to be caulked, and if you want to leave it open to detect leaks you can leave part of it open, not all of it. And mine was NOT caulked at all after he reinstalled it. All in all, that was more than $600 for an hour's work. Would've been barely acceptable if it was done properly. But nope, too many problems. read more

Thomas came out and replaced our gas line and fixed our garbage disposal all in the same day! He even found a leak somewhere else. Highly recommend. read more

Justin was great! Very respectful and his work was clean. SJ Plumbing does a great job keeping you informed on arrival times by sending text messages. read more

Great service. Did what they said they were going to do. Gave an upfront quote. Was a little overpriced for what it was imo so I would probably shop around next time I need a plumber for that reason as I think I could have got the job done cheaper. You pay for quality sometimes I guess. read more

It started off with a phone call and they placed me with Anthony "Tony" who was very helpful and kind, opened up to any questions we had. He very much informed us of what he was going to do and how he would troubleshoot before doing other things. I would definitely work with them again. We ended up replacing a bad garbage disposal then he snaked the drain for us. read more

Can't say enough good things about this business. The lady who initially helped me over the phone was incredibly courteous, and she went out of her way to find a tech who can come over to my parent's home even though it was getting late in the day. The tech who came out was efficient, communicative, and friendly. Toilet got fixed, and the whole process was great! Thank you! read more

Came out on time and fixed my broken sprinkler. Hate wasting water. Good job SJ Plumbing

Quick to respond. Excellent follow up phone calls and texts. Worked with me on scheduling the job. They snaked the main line,connected 2 drains and replaced a faulty hose bib. Cleaned up behind themselves, left no trash or mess. read more

Within an hour of calling for a leaky bathtub faucet, Sean was here at my door to fix the problem. He was very professional and explained the situation to us in terms we could easily understand. Luckily, for now it just needed a minor adjustment, but Sean took the time to explain exactly what was going on and that it could act up again in the future. At his suggestion we opted to wait and see for now, but he did give us the estimate for the work in the future should we need it. I was most impressed with Sean. He was friendly, professional and very nice even with our dogs running in and out. I've already saved Sean's number and the office number in my phone. SJ Plumbing is now our plumber going forward! I highly recommend this company! read more

First started with some scheduling issues I wasn't happy with, but John called and texted me and explained/apologized and did everything he could do to make it right.
